This unit was easy to install and works well. No problems with its functionality at all. The unit must be installed some distance away from any obstacles to wind and sun, like buildings and trees, for it to function properly. Don''t put it on a roof top. You have to access the unit every few months to clean the rain gauge and change batteries. Also, that will skew the temperature and wind readings. I have the sensor array about 100' from the display, and the signal has to go through 2 walls. But, It shows a full 5 bars, and never misses a reading. The WiFi connection works well too. An Android app is required to set up the WiFi, which can be a little finicky, but works with patience. It needed a firmware update when I received mine, which was done through the Android app. One must reenter any weather service feed credentials one has stored in the unit after firmware updates.Read full review

What I discovered is that this weather station is about 14 years old....it is new old stock. When trying to upgrade the battery powered transmitting unit, I discovered that parts are no longer available. While that is a bit disappointing, I have installed the system and it appears to be working as advertised. I did not try to contact the company where I purchased it, only the manufacturer. I hesitate to recommend it unless you are an avid DIYer and sill settle with saving some money rather than having a really new product...

This station performs as described. In general, the readouts seems reasonably accurate, with the exception of barometric pressure. The changes in barometric pressure reported by the Ambient 2902C are not nearly as accurate as desired. Frequently off by as much as 0.4 in. My other complaint is the angular visibility of the display unit. Other reviewers have reported the same. The unit is best visible situated BELOW (!) eye level. So it works best on countertops, desks, tables, etc. Hanging the display on a was is a challenge. Overall, I would buy this unit again as it is much simpler to install and generally better accurate than most comparably priced stations. Just be aware of the challenges and shortcomings.

Very pleased with the station. Easy assembly, quick mount to a 1-3/4” post. The unit linked up very fast with the signal passing through one wall then about 25 yards. Had to calibrate the inside temperature comparing to a mercury thermometer off about 1.5 degrees. The rain gage is spot on with my regular rain gage which I have to empty. The display setup and units take a little study to get what you want. But after you do it’s easy to switch between options (heat index instead of temperature and such). The viewing angle of the display is a little odd but a stand is provided to help get it angled as needed. Wind speed is great watching the trees start to move a lot and saw 20+ mph gusts displayed. Barometric pressure seems to track the weather pattern as rain moves in. Had no issues linking to the internet for remote access to the conditions at home. But you have to follow the instructions closely. Still learning it’s capabilities. I’m very pleased with this purchase.Read full review
